prairie flowers that bloomed for the ap-

more than crowded. The constant stream
came pouring in. Every state was repre-
sented. and even every country of the Old
World. They came from malsrial swamps,
from rocky hill sides, from waste and
worn out lands, from over crowded cities
from grinding poverty that could drive all

excessive pain. In fact there were few. if any,

No, n Backward spring After All.

When, on the first week in May, deep
snow banks were seen on the north side of
buildings, and in many places in the woods
the snow still covered the ground, it seemed
hardly possible that two weeks later the
forest would wear its summer verdure, and
that in less than three weeks the petals
would fall like snowflakes from the bloom
of the apple trees. 1t was predicted dur
ing the last days of April that, though the
season was then so backward, the lost time
would be regained before the end of May /;
and so it has proved. The apple trees We're
in blossom at the usual time-certaiuly not
later than the average for series of years.
In April, last year, the spring was about
two weeks in advance of an average seas
on but May was cold, and at this date of
the month, with the exception of grass,
vegetation was no farther advanced than
it is at the present time. We believe it Ia
be fact that deep snow, remaining ON the
ground till late in the spring is generally
followed by season in which vegetation
advances rapidly, leaving no signs of a late
spring after about the Goth of May.
